Artex removal in Bovingdon Green
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Common materials are stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and typical jobs are ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and damaged or cracked coatings.
Village homes like those in Bovingdon Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

How we price Artex removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
- The size of the job
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

For businesses and landlords in Bovingdon Green
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Options to consider in Bovingdon Green

FAQs for Bovingdon Green
Is the Artex in my Bovingdon Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Bovingdon Green from London?
Bovingdon Green is about 31 miles from central London, well within our area.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Is my textured ceiling in Bovingdon Green asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
